ABSTRACT

El artículo presenta el caso de una mujer de 49 años de edad sin antecedentes patológicos con proptosis axial progresiva izquierda de un año de evolución asociada a dolor ocular, sin cambios en la agudeza visual, sin limitación en los movimientos oculares ni diplopía. Con imágenes sugestivas de seudotumor versus schwannoma versus hemangioma cavernoso orbitario versus dermoide intraconal. Fue llevada a resección de masa vía orbitotomía anterior transconjuntival. Esta fue una lesión compatible histológicamente con hamartoma neuromuscular (tumor de tritón benigno).


This article shows the case of a 49-year-old woman with no medical history, developed a progressive left axial proptosis associated with ocular pain. There are no changes to visual acuity, limitation of eye movement or diplopia. The diagnostic images may suggest one of the following: pseudotumor, schwannoma, orbital cavernous hemangioma or intraconal dermoid. The resected specimen was taken via anterior transconjuntival orbitotomy. Microscopic examination of the tumor showed a neuromuscular hamartoma (benign triton tumor).

ABSTRACT

Benign triton tumor (BTT) or neuromuscular hamartoma is an uncommon tumor composed of mature neural and well-differentiated striated muscular elements. Its development is exceptionally rare in the adult and head region. This report describes a case of adulthood BTT that occurred in the orbit. The patient was a 53-year-old woman who presented with right periorbital swelling and pain in eyeball over 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-enhancing mass surrounding optic nerve and ocular muscles in the right retrobulbar area. The tumor was subtotally removed via transcranial approach. Its pathological diagnosis was confirmed to be a neuromuscular hamartoma. She developed diplopia postoperatively. Adulthood BTT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of head and neck tumors. It is also important to make adequate therapeutic strategy to avoid postoperative neural dysfunction.

ABSTRACT

Subcutaneous form of neuromuscular hamartoma is extremely rare and histologically different from the conventional neuromuscular hamartoma of the peripheral nerve or benign Triton tumor by an indistinct nodular growth with ill-defined margin and marked collagen interposition. It is usually not associated with a major nerve. We report a case of subcutaneous neuromuscular hamartoma developed in the forehead of 24-year-old man. The tumor showed proliferation of dense, hyalinized fibrous tissue, in which single or group of mature skeletal muscle fibers and nerve fibers were haphazardly intermixed. Recognition of abnormally arranged muscle and nerve fibers is important not to miss this lesion.
